Systems Architect - Partners at PagerDuty | Powderkeg

We are interviewing and onboarding 100% virtually at this time. PagerDuty is focused on inclusion and employee well-being by building a culture that isn’t location specific and gives equal opportunity to everyone—regardless of where you are working. Unless your job requirements make it necessary to be in a company office, you may choose to work in-office, remotely, or hybrid .

Overview of the Partner Systems Architect Role

Are you a problem solver? Do you actively identify the potential roadblocks and provide thoughtful solutions? Are you excellent at running technical discovery processes and can clearly articulate how PagerDuty can positively impact an organization’s digital operations.

Then this is the right opportunity for you.

As the Solutions Architect you will be responsible for supporting technical relationships and technical initiatives with our global technology ecosystem, strategic partnerships and alliances. You will manage our technical solution planning and architecting with key partners, PoCs and prototyping with partners, partner enablement, technical evangelism, and develop strong technical partner relationships.

You are an extraordinary partner who enables others to succeed.

This is a strategic, high-impact role as part of the centralized global technology and systems integrator partner teams, expanding our integrated solutions and value propositions, driving revenue (ARR) growth through joint go-to market (e.g., co-marketing, co-sell and field teaming, sell-through business models), and enhancing our market leadership. You will collaborate closely with alliance directors for each partnership as well as cross- functionally with product management, engineering, sales, solutions consultants, marketing, etc to develop alignment and coordinate execution.

You’ve got technical chops. You demonstrate a knowledge of DevOps, Cloud, IT monitoring tools or IT Operations. You run the technical discovery process, and are capable of handling questions in an RFP, RFI and security questionnaires. You help customers and partners design integrations to provide seamless implementation with their current technology stack, and can effectively collaborate with product management and services teams.

You are an excellent and compelling communicator. You can break down complex technical concepts and explain them clearly to stakeholders from business and technical backgrounds. You have the ability to curate those learnings in order to deliver partner enablement remotely and onsite. You are focused on creating processes that are repeatable and scalable in order to drive partner and customer adoption.

You are excellent at multitasking, are self driven, and can work both independently and with a cross functional team. You have project management skills and account management experience. You come up to speed quickly, love to learn, have a strong working style and impeccable attention to detail.

You are a creator. You build scalable, measurable processes that enable partners to self-serve their own success. You support creativity by providing partners with product demonstration mentorship and lab environments. You can help shape the next generation of PagerDuty’s technology ecosystem and marketplace.
